Oval painting made with acrylic markers depicting a stylized willow ptarmigan bird on a dark blue background. There is also a white frame around it. The bird is walking and looking behind and it's mostly natural white with brown beak, some details in the chest and claws. It also has red eyebrow looking coloring. The blue background also has some cowberries and the white frames have green leaves and red dots in it.

I’ve been missing my small family unit (mom, dad, dog) so much since the last of them died this year. This piece is the first of a series which starts with simple lines which, to me, convey a gesture. I then create characters around the lines. This one is “Family Hug.”
#artadventcalendar
A work of geometric, expressive art. Ink on a paper board edged in gold. Four elongated, black-line figures — like hard-edged brush strokes — with similarly elongated lines (arms) cutting across them. Large circles form the heads, and small circles form the hands. Three figures are similar in size and stand with outstretched arms as if embracing one another while a smaller figure seems to jump up to meet them with its arms uplifted. The colors of the circles vary: purple, blue, yellow, green. All are edged with gold. A close up of the previous artwork. We see the four large circles atop the main black “lines” to get the subtle shading of the purple, blue, yellow, and green inks as well as the somewhat grainy texture of the shimmery gold accents. An even closer view of the previous artwork. We can see the texture of the paper and even more detailed variation within the purple and blue inks and the way all of the inks was absorbed according to the grain of the paper itself. The gold details look especially metallic here.

This is the second piece in my “gesture” series (I make lines that speak to me of a particular gesture or moment and then I create the characters around them).

“A Mother’s Love”

#ArtAdventCalendar
A work of geometric, expressive art. Ink on a paper board edged in gold. Two elongated, black-line figures — like hard-edged brush strokes - with similarly elongated lines (arms) cutting across them. Large circles form the heads, and small circles form the hands. One figure is taller than the other. Both stand, slightly curved toward one another, with outstretched arms as if in an embrace. One figure's circles are blue; the other's, purple. All are edged with gold. A close up of the previous artwork, focusing on the two large circles, framed in the upper left while multiple black lines slash and crisscross through the frame. A smaller purple and smaller blue circle, respectively, sit at the visible end of two of the lines.

Large circles form the heads, and small circles form the hands. One figure is taller than the other. Both seem to be leaping while being slightly curved toward one another, with outstretched arms as if about to embrace. One figure's circles are yellow; the other's, purple. All are edged with gold. A close up of the previous work, showing the purple circles edged in gold. The slightly rough texture of the paper can be seen along with the grains in the gold (mica).

if people’s kids are going hungry and it turns out the money for it went to the gold ballroom and they’re refusing to pay up because they can’t, I think one very particular category of French antiques will be coming back in fashion right quick if you know what I mean

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness)

As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)
Hebrew calligraphy in dark green stretches in lines across the image. Negative space makes room for a simple representation of an inflatable frog costume with a blue bandana. That shape consists of the English translation of the Hebrew, in a lighter green, and in much smaller text. -- Famously, the Egyptian tyrant causes Egypt to be overrun with frogs because he refuses to free the Hebrew people, but there are additional details that make this a fun one to ponder. For one, the Hebrew says "the frog came up" - ONE frog - even though the rest of the time it says "frogs." So there are a few explanations rabbis have come up with to explain this. One is that a single frog multiplied to create swarms. A more creative explanation is that there was a singular giant frog who traveled and brought destruction. Jewish social media was sharing videos of the Portland Frog protester with the caption, "One Big Frog! One Big Frog!" Of course the frog protesters did multiply, and many were seen in crowds all over the world on "No Kings" Day. This calligraphic work takes the verses addressing the frog plague and combines them to form a simple rendering of the Portland Frog protester. The frog figure itself is made up of the English translations of the Hebrew around it. At the bottom left my signature is in the shape of a lily pad.

Celeste dos Cravos (2025), acrylic gouache (+ tiny bit of watercolour) on hot pressed paper (A3)

The traditional version of the illustration I painted digitally last year, now as I had first envisioned it :)
Illustration by Eleonor Piteira featuring a woman on a balcony, holding a bouquet of red carnations, giving one of them to a soldier passing below, placing it on the muzzle of his gun while he looks up at her. All around, other soldiers walk beside him, some wearing red carnations on the muzzles of their guns too, others waiting for their turn to get one. On the background, Portuguese tiles frame the woman, while the balcony's railing slowly transforms into a streetlamp typical of Lisbon (with a caravel and 2 ravens, the symbols of the city).

Any time people start talking about weakening protections for certain groups I am always reminded of this quote.
William Roper: “So, now you give the Devil the benefit of law!” Sir Thomas More: “Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?” William Roper: “Yes, I'd cut down every law in England to do that!” Sir Thomas More: “Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man's laws, not God's! And if you cut them down, and you're just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake!
